Damage In Tolland Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Still plenty of snow in my yard here in Ashford, although yesterday there were plenty of bare areas around town. My yard is heavily shaded though; I have as low as 6" in my more sun exposed areas, with as much as 17" in my heavily shaded backyard Front yard: Snow depth in front yard (12" if you can't make it out; of course, it varies a lot between spots): Back yard, which slopes to the northeast. The area closest to the woods receives pretty much no sunlight. Impressive snow depth measurement in the backyard; I didn't expect this much (just about 17")! I bet there are some spots with even more. Hopefully I'll still have some left for Easter IIRC, in mid-March 2011, I still had up to 8 inches snow in my backyard during nearly 70 degree weather (or at least mid 60s). I remember going all around the area and I couldn't find a patch of snow anywhere. The glacier in my backyard didn't melt until the beginning of April that year. Snow just doesn't want to melt in my backyard, lol. Great pics and explanation of pack distribution. This time of year it's so highly variable upon location, elevation and sun vs. Shade. Easter I think depends on how warm it gets end of week. Most guidance keeps us in the 40's to near 50,, but the Euro is on its own near 60 with dews. An ensemble/GFS scenario would probably mean there's still some snow left on Easter.. But the Euro solution would be bad. Also we may add a little more Tuesday night with the clipper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbutts Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Just looking at pictures from this time previous years vs. this year. 2014 at this point is nearly identical. 2013 was melted out, just a few patches 2012 100% melted out 2011 mostly melted, but a bit better than 2013 2010 100% melted 2009 Couldn't find pic with evidence 2008 Still a pretty good pack, best year.

CoastalWx Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Yeah and nothing wrong with posting about it. I just think having this much still OTG this late in the season is pretty incredible..especially where I live. It's not like I'm beating my chest and have this big pack fetish. Personally, I've never seen anything like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Open fields are just patches of snow around here, even in the higher elevations. My yard is 6" shade but bare now in the full sun spots. Gorgeous day, 40's in the sun, just a light breeze. I'm officially checking out of winter mode. Let's melt off, dry out the mud and on to spring clean up. No more accumulating snow here until next November now. Increasingly warm temps, cooking on the grille, flip flops, shorts, kind bros playing frisbee while little sugar magnolias in batik dresses run through flowering fields sowing cannabis seeds.

Crappy positioning all around for me. One of many factors I should have thought about before moving here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORH_wxman Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Nah.... This whole area pretty much looks like that. Unless its a really shaded area Taunton is one of the best downslope dandy spots in NE. The CT River valley gets the accolades but that area near TAN is a bit under the radar as an epic downslope spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 They also had less of a base in Feb compared to other areas. They did well in March, but March fluff goes fast and has no resistance to ole sol. Pack is going quick here in Andover too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Miser Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 ...New personal goal - 6 consecutive months with measurable snow. I have had this before, living in upstate new york as a kid (maybe even 8 months consecutive (Oct-May), and I'm sure it has happened here before, but I just want to see it happen this season. April...Make it happen. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it sucks that we're getting this awful cutter right before Easter. I could see everything getting wiped out except my backyard (although it would take quite the torch to wipe out everything including my backyard), but hopefully we luck out. My gut feeling is that the clipper trends north... but my gut feeling always has a snowy bias so I wouldn't take it too seriously Even if it makes a direct hit though, it would probably be 0.3" liquid equivalent at best, which wouldn't make too much of a difference.

But I would hold off till the glacier melts. There's probably quite a bit more to get. Though it's pretty early for clover. Could it be creeping Charlie?

With 3 females here .. I knew what would happen. Last night my fears were realized. The screaming left me partially deaf and now they won't be downstairs by themselves.
